Unlearning Corporate: Breaking Free from the 9-to-5 Mindset

Finding Joy at Work After Burnout: Grief, Self-Compassion & Sustainable Business Growth

In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, Anne sits down with wellness coach Maddison Sutton to talk about unlearning corporate habits and breaking free from the 9–5 mindset.

Together, they explore how the stress of entrepreneurship often mirrors the burnout of traditional work—and how to shift toward sustainable business growth rooted in self-compassion, intention, and healthy work-life balance.

Maddison shares her personal journey of healing from grief, letting go of hustle culture, and rebuilding her relationship with work. You'll hear insights on how unresolved emotions, people-pleasing, and over-functioning can block joy at work, and how tuning into your body can help you realign with what actually feels good and sustainable.

If you're ready to redefine productivity, create space for joy, and run your business in a way that honors your humanity—this episode is for you.
